Resumen


En este artículo nos dedicaremos a examinar un problema hermenéutico que suscita el capítulo XI del Leviatán de Hobbes. A saber: ¿Por qué el autor desiste de calificar el atentado de los senadores liderados por Bruto contra Julio César como el resultado de una conspiración? ¿Por qué en lugar de hablar de la acción colectiva de un grupo organizado se refiere a una “multitud de acciones realizadas por una multitud de hombres”? Con el fin de desentrañar esta paradoja, analizaremos la categoría de “facción” desarrollada por Hobbes. Tras constatar que la conspiración republicana se explica con facilidad mediante dicho concepto y que se adecúa mal a la de una multitud irregular, pasaremos a indagar si la clave de esa lectura puede encontrarse en sus fuentes. Mientras que Plutarco es inequívoco respecto del estatuto conspirador del grupo, Shakespeare sí problematiza el asunto. En correspondencia, argüiremos que Hobbes pudo haber tenido en consideración el tratamiento de Shakespeare para negar el carácter colectivo de la acción conspiradora contra César.
